Looking to get a new GPU, changed my 1060 3GB with a 1070 (non ti) a while ago, and that scratched that itch, but I had been looking at 3060ti during the shortage and now that crypto crashed and GPUs are back to appropriate retail prices, I'm ready to pull the trigger.
Just not sure what to get ... except I know I won't get a 40 series!
Time to look at reviews for the recent AMD and Nvidia 30 series I guess (I was thinking 3070, but I'm not sure if AMD has something comparable since I haven't looked at all that for the past 6+ months!).

The 6700 xt for $480 was sold out almost immediately, switched to an Asus model for $520, anything else was either sold out also, or not on sale ($600+)

I hope the $520 was in CAD, not USD? You should be pretty happy with the performance bump, you're upgrading from a 1060 IIRC? The 3GB model?

CAD yes (so around $385 USD), I upgraded my 1060 3GB to a 1070 earlier this year for $135 CAD (so around $100 USD), while it was better, the 1070 was sold "as-is" and was in really bad shape (VERY dirty with a rust on some components and oxidation on the copper on the cooler), was able to fix it and make it work, but it's a bit unstable during hot summer days !
Though I'm not complaining since I bought it during the shortage when 1070 were sold for $300+ CAD !!
Next upgrade will be high refresh rate monitors (stuck at 75Hz)
